About Mitti Labs:
Mitti Labs is a climate-tech startup dedicated to transforming the rice industry by supporting smallholder farmers in adopting sustainable practices. Our mission is to bring AI and satellite technology into traditional rice farming, reducing methane emissions while improving farmer livelihoods.
Backed by NASA-supported science and a strong ecosystem of partners, we work with global corporations to help them achieve their net-zero goals through verified, high-quality carbon credits. Our initiatives include launching a 40,000 farmers project in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and reducing air pollution from stubble burning in Punjab.
Our customers — including Fortune 500 companies, leading agri-businesses, and global NGOs — trust Mitti Labs to deliver measurable impact across climate, food systems, and sustainability.
We are a team of 30+ data scientists, agronomists, engineers, and operators, including leaders in NASA’s SAR program, with decades of expertise in remote sensing and GHG modeling.
Role Description:
- Design, build and maintain geospatial data infrastructure and scalable pipelines
- Automate workflows, complex data structures, and data handling on the cloud
- Support data scientists, crop modelers, field agents / Ops, and MRV products with geospatial application development using best practices
- 5+ years experience in scientific programming (Python, C/C++), software engineering, and building/maintaining geospatial data science infrastructure
- Familiarity with STAC and Cloud-Native geospatial assets handling and pipelines
- Experience with AWS (or GCP equivalent), serverless architectures (Lambda, Step Functions), containerization (ECS, EKS), storage (S3)
- Experience with open source tools, common data formats (GeoTIFF, NetCDF, COGs, Geojson) and frameworks / libraries (GDAL, GeoPandas, Rasterio, Xarray, Zarr, PyTorch)
- Software containerization, command-line and user interface experience to run programs
- Experience with continuous integration and automated test frameworks
- Basic knowledge/interest in remote sensing, LLMs, simulation models
- Comfortable working with agile data scientists, high-growth environments with rapid iteration and evolving priorities, cross functional teams, version control, and ticketing
- Be at the frontline of climate-tech
Mitti Labs is tackling the methane emissions and water-intensive practices of rice farming — a major global climate lever that few organisations are focussed on. You’ll work with satellite/AI/field-data to drive real change, not just build features. - High-impact global platform + deep local action
The company’s work spans from smallholder farmers in India and Southeast Asia to global carbon markets and buyers. You’ll have the opportunity to interface with both real-world farm operations and high-level climate finance - Work with a mission-driven, elite team in a dynamic growth environment
Mitti Labs is backed by top investors (Lightspeed, Voyager) and led by a team with deep expertise in agriculture, carbon science and tech. If you join, you’ll be in a high-growth startup environment where your contributions matter, iteration is rapid, priorities evolve—and you’ll see your work have tangible impact on climate and livelihoods.
